Storage space gauge panel?

[ColdAccord]

I know people are doing the pods for the vent panel. I want my vents, so that option's out. I've also seen them in the ashtray. I use my ashtray,s o thats out.

But right above the ashtray theres that little spot. Has anyone made a guage panel for there? I know its not the most easily viewable, but its the best option for my use. If noone makes them I'll just do it myself, just seeing if anything was available

BMP has one, as well as a few other companies.

they also offer it preloaded with VDO gauges

I just got mine from BMP, as their price on it has dropped a lot. $229 for the pod, all 3 guages and all senders. A real deal I thought.

Horrible place for guages. You have to take your eyes completely off the road to read them.

LukasBMW sells them

like i said, i know its not th ebest spot. but I'm not really sure if I can give up those center vents. Maybe now since the touring will not be driven in winter I could make one. Are those sold by any manufacturers? how did you block off the vents? do the other 2 vents running on that still work? I guess since it's a summer only car i only need the defroster

Nico had a unit (maybe Zender?) for sale some time ago that went on top of the dash, right above the center vent, radio, etc. and integrated decently with the raised section of the dash. That would allow the gauges to be visible but not delete the vent. But you might not like the look.
